View 2 RepliesI set a textformat and apply it with setTextFormat, this is fine when my movie runs however when I try and change the text (with a mouse over of a button) this formatting disappears and have to set it again after I have changed the value of the text box. Why does it resort back to the original formatting? Is there not a way to set a textfield and keep it set?
function setText(evt:MouseEvent) {
clientText.text = "hello2";
clientText.setTextFormat(myFormat);
}
I have a wierd problem with input textfield losing its formatting.The format of the textfield (font, size, align..) is defined inside the .fla.When first added to stage, the textfield has these properties:
defaultTextFormat = flash.text.TextFormat (@97c7ab9)
align = "right"
blockIndent = 0

I have an if/else statement which checks the length of my current title, and then is suppose to change the defaultTextFormat of the title textField and set the text. Currently the title will not show up now, no matter what character length the title is, any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong here?
public function switchTitle(sentText):void {
titleString = sentText;
trace("---------"+" ");
trace("Forumula testing");
trace("titleString = "+titleString);

I'm following a tutorial on creating text fields and I don't know why my code does not work.. I've googled around and it seems the problem is with something being private while overriding some classes. I'm not doing any of the complex stuff, just creating a text field and formatting it.
var newTextField:TextField = new TextField();
var newTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newTextFormat.size = 24;
newTextField.defaultTextFormat(newTextFormat); //<-- ERROR
object.addChild(newTextField);
where object is just a movieclip. The code is inside a function.
Im looking for a script to set a textFormat on characters between < and >...ive tried a wild guess:
inputText.setTextFormat("<",">",myTextFormat);
i've a text with a very long list of words to highlight and calling setTextFormat() one for each word takes ages. There's some way to speedup this operation ? i've tried with a TextField not instantiate in the DisplayObject's list, to bypass the rendering stage but i've founded that the performance are the sam

im getting that? what is the proper way of passing the myFormat to the setTextFormat.
I created a text editor in AS3 to administer a site online, but i have a problem when i select a word, put it in bold, save the text and load it, all the text after this word becomes bold too. (to put a word in bold i select that world and use a button that turn this word in bold)Here is my code
Code:
var formatGlobal12:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("_serif", 12);
txt_references_springbok_fr.setTextFormat (formatGlobal12);

This is a very common issue but is still pissing me off.I've this code:
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e) { var style:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); style.underline = true; e.currentTarget.label.text.setTextFormat(style);

I am trying to get setTextFormat working, but I can't seem to get it to work. The textfield appears and has the text I want, however, the font is just not changing.Here is my code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;import flash.text.TextField;import flash.text.TextFormat; public class Photograph extends MovieClip {

i'm unsuccessfully attempting to assign a textFormat to two different parts of the same string, but the second time it doesn't register and remains the default text format. both styles (regular and bold) of the font are embedded.

I've written some code that uses setTextFormat to apply formatting to textFields. I need to change it now so if a textfield has a particular title it adds to the formatting (capitalizing it). There's several workarounds I could use but ideally I would like to either create an override for the setTextFormat or textFormat classes that checks the name of the textfield and if it's a particular name before applying all the other specified formatting capitalises it. I know how to override a setter such as (width or height) but can't find any info on overriding a specific property.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to maintain the style format I've applied to my dynamic textfield when using css?What I'm trying to accomplish: I'm trying to get the url links in my cdata from my xml file ( <a href="">link</a> ) to underline, and if even more so possible, to bold or change font color for that link. And I'd like to avoid just using the <u> tag in the cdata instead.I know you can just use a stylesheet to accomplish that, but I've already set up my script to use the setTextFormat method and when I try to combine the two, it seems that I lose my embedded font.Heres what I have now for my textfield, which is also successfully pulling the style from a xml file.[code]
View 0 RepliesI create 30 text fields dynamically on the stage and want to set text format for all text fields. I use 'setTextFormat'. It works fine for single text box. But not working if I give this in loop. See the code below. It creates thirty input text boxes on the stage. But it assigns text format only to the last text box. When code Copied and placed in frame 1. The stage size should be 800 x 600. Execute the program and type in the last text field. I want that to happen for all text boxes.
ActionScript Code:
var xtpos:Number = 10;
var ytpos:Number = 10;
var i,j:Number=0;
var depth:Number = 100
var k:Number=0;
[Code] .....
In the above it traces only the last text field.
Is there a way of changing the styles of parts of a text using stylesheets, but without giving each part its own class? (Like you can do with setTextFormat by supplying the start and end character indexes). Or is there just another way of achieving the same result without using setTextFormat because you can't use it on a textfield that has a stylesheet applied to it?
View 2 Replieswhen I parse my input-textfield and setTextFormat, everything works fine, but when I write something between the newly formatted part of the the, suddenly the formatting spreads over the whole texfield.
Is there any way (besides .htmlText="") to get rid of text formatting-tags. (maybe something simpler than a html-parser or so?)
We have a library with a bunch of TextFields inside MovieClips. During runtime, we make an instance of one of these, run getTextFormat on it to get the formatting, then create a bunch of TextFields in code and run setTextFormat on them to give them the same formatting.
I'm trying to do the same thing but with TLFTextFields. I have the following:
var text:TLFTextField = new classFromLib();
text.selectable = true; //required for getTextFormat to work, flash bug
textFormat = text.getTextFormat();
[Code]....
If I set textFormat.leading and textFormat.letterSpacing to null before I run setTextFormat, then everything works, but obviously the text fields don't get the leading and letter spacing that the one in the library had.
I'm trying to set only a portion of a string to use a particular text format and it does not seem to be working. I'm calling setTextFormat() after setting the text of the TextField like this:
myTextField.setTextFormat(newFormat, 7);
change the format for the remaining characters after the 6th. The textfield seems to use the default text format for the entire text however.
I have some dynamic text boxes loading text from an array. I initially have the text box aligned "right" but when you put dynamic text it "left" aligns them. Anyway, here is my code:
Code:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = "right";
[code].....
is there a way i can change the standard setTextFormat() ; function? I found out that after you change the text, the format sets back to default. I want to add a "on text change, settextformat again" bit but im completely lost on how to do this? something to do with prototypes doesnt it?
View 3 RepliesI have a TLFTextfield, which I've applied a TextFormat to, using a start and end index so it only applies to a range of text.Something similar to this:
var textfield:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
textfield.text = "Some Text";
textfield.textColor = 0x0000FF;

View 1 RepliesA Video-loop at 25fps imported to flash, embedded, plays fine if the project fps also is 25fps.But i also want to add a 3D Carousel menu, but at the projects 25 fps it goes a little bit choppy when rotating quick.So I try to change the projects fps to 50, and voila, the menu looks good but the video plays to fast.The video should alternate between clips randomly, and the clips has to be preloaded, thus its embedded in the swf (...or could this be done with flvs?)5-10 clips.
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a new portfolio, full flash website for myself and so far I've been working on my Macbook Pro almost entirely. The website is somewhat heavy in graphics/animation however nothing too big, all pages are around 500kb or less. Running the website on my MAC in any browser it looks perfect, the animation runs smooth, everything goes great. However, when I try to run the same website on my PC which is pretty good, the whole website feels a little bit choppy and laggy and I'm not sure why. It feels like it chokes for 1/4th of a second every like 2-3 seconds, lower FPS basically.
View 11 RepliesI have an application that I support but did not create. I need to test it on FMSS 3.0 but the developer version has both Streaming and Interactive Server enabled. Is there any way to disable the Interactive Server in the Developer Edition so I can confirm the application works on Streaming Server without influence from Interactive Server? The application works on the development server but when I move it to the production Streaming Server, it does not respond the same.
